#maybe im just being picky

[pancat]

The only time I like Seo Yul is when he's with the boys in a group. He has personality, showing more than one facial expression even though it's just a smile, and just more fun for me. When he's alone with his thoughts I'm like baby boy you gotta show me more flavor than flour on a wet blanket. The other male characters got spice in them, and I'm just-I dunno it might just be me.

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner? #with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all) #but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!! #well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically. #like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so??? #like how arent the other lords doing something like that too? #is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms? #and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?

the way i wish there could be more good faith analysis and fic about billy having adopted racial prejudice from his dad and then learning to properly recognize it and grow past it in order become a better person. i wish there was more posts and fics that tackle the bullshit lucas has had to deal with as a black kid in small town indiana because the duffers never even considered it. but the sheer puritan black and white thinking and performative activism or moral virtue signaling or whatever the fuck that is so pervasive in this fandom means that even the few posts and fics that dare to try and actually tackle racism tend turn it into either a punishment narrative, are depressingly shallow about it, make it about hating and liking the 'right characters', or miss the mark entirely

like i get it, homophobia/transphobia is easier to explore and talk about for most fans. it's complex and multi-layered just like other types of oppression, but so much of fandom is queer and dedicated to shipping and labels that yeah, i can see how talking about it is just. easier for a lot of ppl. also a lot of fandom is white. and lots of white gays get weird about discussing racism in their spaces. y'know the deal, but i digress. from what i can see, very few ppl want to explore how racism affects our favorite characters and the stories they live in. i know some ppl are probably afraid of getting it wrong, or they don't know anything about it and don't feel like they should. it's like, my blorbo is queer and so am i, so why wouldn't i talk all day about that? i get it. but it honestly just means a lot when someone tries earnestly. i have read beautiful fics about trans love through hardship by cis authors and such genuine fics about connection in the face of racism's poison by white authors.

there is just SO much untapped potential in exploring lucas and max and billy and patrick and argyle and all the other characters directly and indirectly affected by bigotry and racism within the narrative that never got the acknowledgement it deserved. plus it's super weird being used as a 'gotcha!' by white fans that hate billy (as if poc fans of billy aren't capable of seeing it for the bullshit it is) or seeing lucas' treatment in the show get brushed aside like it's nothing or how argyle gets sidelined an awful lot in the fandom (and don't even get me started on how messy the classism in this fandom can be, the borderline erasure of eddie's poverty and its effects on who he is as a person in fic is insane sometimes)

anyway. idk if any of this makes sense, but i can count like maybe 3 good fics and maybe a dozen good posts about billy that actually address this in good faith and only maybe a dozen more for every other character i mentioned. and i desperately want more. i am brown and queer and i want healing and love for all of these characters and i am going to have to start churning out more of it myself at this rate.

#the dozen or so good posts are all by my mutuals at this point lmaoo #and 1 of the like 3 only good fics is ALSO by one of my mutuals #oh actually i forgot about TOWNIE make that 4 good fics and 2 written by my mutuals lol #billy hargrove #i cant tag any of the other blorbos bc then ppl will start acting stupid in my notes #i may already be playing fast and loose bc i mention my man argy #this is super incoherent bc its late for me so im not in the mood for clowns #it's rly mostly bc either billy is painted as horrible bad racist who is either forever so or needs to grovel and suffer to redeem himself #OR ppl who like him dont rly know how to tackle the obvious racial prejudice in his actions and try to toe it aside #like yea i love him but that boy isn't gonna magically free himself of any bigotry without some in depth introspection #or some very specific headcanons about what he got up to in california and what was motivating him when he treated lucas like he did #and even then you gotta acknowledge it #idk man maybe im just picky like no one is obligated to write fic this is mostly me bitching #except for the overt racism and classism n shit in this fandom that im being deadass about #but yes TOWNIE + Spin Me Right Round + Yourself or Someone Like You fic supremacy #if you have recs. hand them over pls. i have a Need.

i reaally wanna know what people think about dana's character development throughout the series

like in season 1 she was presented as a young somewhat timid but passionate and friendly person who was mostly shown as rachel's love interest

in season 2 she was shown to be a determined upcoming coder that idolized both poppy and ian, less timid but also more headstrong while also dating rachel

in season 3, she starts to branch out as a character away from just her relationship with rachel, where she grows more and more fed up with poppy and ian the more she gets to know them while simultaneously revealing she has an almost inane sense of confidence, and is invested in crypto which sorta came out of left field for me and many others

my main source of confusion is how she's essentially, like poppy said "out-ianing ian" this season and while i admit this isn't something i'm 100 percent against it's strange given that she had seemed to take on this change completely off camera between the gaps of season 2 and season 3 as by the end of s3ep2 she's already bonding with ian because her and him are somehow extremely alike

tldr dana progressing into a mini ian was definitely jarring as it was never hinted she was anything like him before this season and she virtually turned into him out of pure coincidence off camera but that may just be me misremembering/misinterpreting her character

#sorry for being overly critical and nit picky all the time im just like this #im unsure about a lot of things this season but i love having discussions about them sue me #this change isn't unwelcomed it sorta just comes out of left field but maybe that's just me #mythic quest #dana mythic quest #ian grimm #kaitlinshottakes

I get what you mean about the blue tongue lizard-skink thing, but i think calling them lizards is an Australian thing to do.

I guess that makes sense, I only heard an American speak about them once and they called them skinks

Whereas everyone here I've ever spoken to about them, and even the Australian Museum calls them that

It would make sense to call them lizards like we do, since they're from here,,, right,,,

#asks #im sorry but bluetongue skink doesnt have the same ring to it as bluetongue lizard #maybe im just. idk. being picky??? idk

thinking about going back to being vegetarian again then i remember oh right Im moving again and i fuck SO hard with clam chowder

#Saying pescaterian is cringe ig I'll just stay doing what i do now which is saying i don't eat a lot of meat/don't like meat #Which is true #Also living with my mom she keeps telling me im so healthy it's like not really lol #I think she eats a lot less meat with me than normal tho bc i like. Rlly don't like chicken #I didn't even realize but she made this beans and rice thing that normally had sausage w/out it for me... #Idk it's weird cuz we eat out more than I'm used to bc here for 4mo or whatever #And it's rlly made me feel super picky #Cuz im like ok i don't wanna eat that it'll make me feel like this or bad in this way #Don't like to have much too much sugar cuz i think it triggers migraines tho I love sugar and it's more about it being spread out #Than the amount I think #Can't have caffeine in the afternoon #And so on #Idk like being not in my own makes me feel like i have so many more rules than I thought #Or am maybe just picky? #Bc like I do eat a lot bc i run a lot food is fuel and all that. It's just more like... What #Anyway #Food mention

Alright, I've blocked other blog guy

I feel kind of like bad for him cs I've not explained myself at all? But also like thank fuck I won't be jumpscared by unannounced penis at 7.03am, y'know?

#like. im fine with penis so long as it's announced? yknow? #lil convo first and then ask to send y'know? #don't just send whatever #like we'd had the lil convos before so maybe he thought he didn't have to keep asking? or something? #idk man use your words please for the love of god #am i being too uhhhh idk picky? i don't think i am i think that's pretty reasonable

there's something unsettling about "0 notes" . . .

#is it just me ?????? why did they decide to put that in there lol #maybe im a very picky person i am not sure if that's why ?! #anyway hi glitter bombs hope yall are doing well #drink water! #i apparently suck at being consistent in anything but hey!!!! #Matt is pretty so theres that mayhaps. sending you all hugs <3 #tbd

[seariii]

Sometimes I see posts on the main tag that feel.... Wrong....

Sometimes it's not the post directly and it's just the notes....

Just now saw one that gave me a really bad gut feeling, and was about to comment on it, but decided not to

#in one the way they talked about shidou sounded like they were calling him a predator #i sent the post to a friend because maybe it was my imagination but they told me that was definitely being implied #and now i saw in the notes of a post people saying that if amane converts fuuta 'thats on him' #i dont mind much about people saying that about her hurting shidou but when its about converting someone into a cult... #look i dont mind if they dont agree with the theory thats completely fine but the way they phrase it feels really wrong #i know its just that im really picky and specific about the usage and meaning of words #and I'm not calling them bad people over a fictional character #but there is this misconception about only 'dumb' people falling into cults and no! smart people also do! #anyone could fall into one if they are vulnerable enough and stuff... #maybe they know that and its just that its because its a fictional character #or maybe they say that because they saw a lot of people saying that about shidou.... #sigh... #its just one of those things that tickle me the wrong way #rant #might erase later

just another ibd dog puzzle for me today. enzo up until a couple days ago liked eating his kibble. he ate yesterday but i had to hand feed. i thought it was bc i started soaking his kibble..so today i gave it to him regular style and he doesn't want it. He's not acting sick, like he does when he's flaring (he won't eat anything and may even throw up) but he does seem nervous about eating. so theres that. :/

i dont mind if i have to fees him just one meal a day of wet food but i wish i knew why eating made him nervous.

#gab gabs #i don't know if he just feels lousy after eating or what #maybe he just hated the soaked kibble so much he's protesting #im just gonna treat this as him being picky and go from there. he wont die if he skips breakfast

Helloooo popping in to say I love your art! It’s cute and feels soft (reminds me of when you’ve got a really smooth pencil and it just ghosts across the paper) but your poses and anatomy also give it a good feeling of realism :D

classic question here; do you have anything you’d say is a big influence on your art? I love seeing what people answer and trying to connect it back to the kind of thing they currently make :]

!! thank u!!! i do wish i could get more creative with angles, but im happy knowing my art gives u that feeling ^_^

I really enjoy comics!! I like poking thru graphic novels and webcomics, so I've fallen into the habit of exposing myself to lots of different styles over time that I'm fairly explorative with my art. It gives me a lot to study, especially since different artists have different strengths and preferences

I also think of myself as a simple person, so I'm not strongly attached to anything in particular... I notice a lot of artists find their ground in certain interests or aesthetics. But since I'm not really like that, I try to put a bit of myself in whatever I draw to connect with my art better. Its probably why I like taking creative liberty when making fanart lol

im also drawn to indie creative work like games and animation! they tend to be extremely varied and unique from each other, which is great since I work from my own sense of curiosity. I also hate repetition, so having things that set themselves apart visually or otherwise is something I like to look for.

#thank u for sending this in!!! i had fun answering this.. i had to think really hard so im glad it helped me do some reflection ^_^ #on top of all this im a very visual person so i look at things if theyre eyecatching and then see if i like it for any of these qualities #afterwards.. so i do tend to lean to cutesy styles like soft shapes and big eyes but i wouldnt go as far as making it a calling card for my #art style since i love to keep shaking things up whenever i can. if that makes sense? or u could say im impulsive and u would be right #i rly like gigi dg and plushpon since theyve been a huge inspiration for my art over time.. as for comics i remember being really into #always raining here and colorless... its been a while since ive looked at any webcomics though so maybe i should make time to do that #BONE was one of my favorites as a kid because of the storytelling and art style even if i could never read the books in order #although im also really picky so even if i dont have a set taste there are some things i dont really find interesting like superhero comics #i do wish i had an interest that i could pour my art into instead of just drawing whatever on a whim #i think nature comes pretty close but thats more of an appreciation than smth like. birdwatching or camping or animals #so rather than wanting my art to be known for a certain thing i think ill try and be happy with drawing things i know i like and people #liking whatever that might be. shrugs #yapping #ask

Ya the Sonelise 'romance' felt really dry in 06. As a kid I always saw it as platonic aside from the smooch scene (which was more like magical CPR than anything else)

yeah the very very few moments that do actually read as explicitly romantic just seem out of place because of how Not Romantic most of their other interactions felt. like if you wiped my brain of all knowledge of sonic 06 (not the entire franchise Just sonic 06) and i went and played it rn id probably be genuinely shocked by elise kissing sonic. both because of how out of nowhere it feels and also because a realistic human girl kissing a dead cartoon hedgehog is just weird as hell to watch

and im not saying this in a "oh i wish it was more obvious" kind of way im saying it in a "they shouldnt have tried to say they were in love at all" sort of way. and i dont think sonic should have a canon love interest anyway regardless of how i feel about sonic and elise specifically

#the thing is sonic is the type of guy whos super friendly and helpful to everyone around him #nothing he really does or says with elise feels like something he wouldnt do with a friend who hes Not in love with. if that makes sense #like maybe if sonic was replaced by some other character with a different personality id see the romance #but with sonic and keeping in mind his personality and how hes interacted with other characters before i just cant #and im not saying their relationship was meaningless they clearly meant a lot to eachother #and i find a lot of their interactions really cute when viewing them through the lens of them being friends with no romance involved #but they just dont feel like theyre supposed to be in love until elise suddenly starts kissing sonic in that one scene like HELLO #well thats how i feel anyway. like i said in the post that prompted this maybe im biased #because i dont really like romance being a thing in sonic. well im not completely anti romance but im very very picky about it #and sonic and elise does not fit my idea of what romance should be allowed to happen in sonic lmao #asks
